Tang Taizong Li Shimin wanted to marry Wei Chi Jingde, and Wei Chi Jingde politely refused, which seemed so inconceivable to many people: Wei Chi Jingde was older than Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had a few tons of water in his head before he came up with such a ridiculous idea?
Li Shimin is a generation of Heroes, Wei Chi Jingde is a generation of famous generals, this seemingly absurd scene that happened between the two of them, but it contains a chilling imperial heart: Wei Chi Jingde resolutely refused to marry Li Shimin's daughter, because this is a loss-making transaction that humiliates people and may lose their lives, Cheng Yaojin will laugh off his teeth, and he may also lose the qualification to enter the Martial Temple.
Wei Chi Jingde in the zhengshi, formerly known as Wei Chi Rong, is evidenced by his epitaph - according to the "Epitaph of the Former Situ of the Tang Dynasty and the Governor of the Prefecture of Shangzhu Guo Zhongwu Duke Chi Fujun", Wei Chi Jingde, like Qin Qiongcheng biting Jin, was also awarded the title of Pillar State because of the twelve turns of Ce Xun, the difference is that Qin Qiong's title was given by Li Yuan.
In the Wu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, the main priest is Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya, worthy of Zhang Liang Zhang ZiFang, the Wu Temple Ten Zhe three kingdoms only one person, that is, the ancient name of Zhuge Kongming, the Tang Dynasty's twin generals were selected at the same time, that is, Shangshu Right Servant Shooting Wei Guo Gong Li Jing, Sikong British Gong Li Ji.
Guan Yu, the martial sage we are familiar with, was not as important in the Tang Dynasty as Li Jing and Li Ji, who, like Wei Chi Jingde, was one of the sixty-four generals. From this point of view, the Tang Dynasty people built the Wu Temple, or put some water on the famous generals of the Dynasty: the two names of the Tang Dynasty will become ten zhe, and among the sixty-four generals, the Tang Dynasty will account for ten places, but there is no Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin that we are familiar with. After Wei Chi Jingde, they were Su Dingfang, Zhang Renqian, Wang Hui, Wang Xiaojie, Li Xiaogong, Pei Xingjian, Guo Yuanzhen, Zhang Qiqiu, and Guo Ziyi.
Of these ten people, four or five of them are unfamiliar to us, and whether Wei Chi Jingde's combat function exceeds that of Qin Shubao and Cheng Jingjin, many people will also put a big question mark: Wei Chi Jingde was originally a defeated general under Qin Qiong, Tang Zhaoji, Qin Qiongcheng bit jin and repeatedly made military merits and was awarded the title of Duke of Guo and Shangzhu Guo, while Wei Chi Jingde was a White Ding -- his military merits were not enough to be knighted.
Wei Chi Jingde was only given the title of Duke of Guo after Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and in terms of seniority, he was much worse than Qin Qiongcheng's bite of Jin, but it was chi Jingde, the great general of the Right Wu Marquis of Eguo, who almost became Li Shimin's dragon-riding son-in-law: "In February of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Gengchen, with Guanglu Grand Master Wei Chi Jingde as the governor of Yanzhou. Shangyu said of Jingde: 'How about the desire to take a female wife?' Jingde prostrated his head and thanked him: "Although the wives of the courtiers are despicable, they have been poor and lowly together for a long time." Although the subject does not learn, it is not easy for the ancients to be rich and not easy to marry, which is not what the subject wishes. 'The upper is the end. ”
Li Shimin wanted to marry his daughter to Wei Chi Jingde, not in the barnyard official Ye Shi, but in the Zizhi Tongjian Volume 195 Tang Ji XI, which shows that Li Shimin did have such an expression, and Wei Chi Jingde did politely refuse.
Readers know that the thirteenth year of Zhenguan is 639 AD, Wei Chi Jingde was born in 585 AD, and when Li Shimin wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, Wei Chi was already fifty-five years old.
Li Shimin was born in 598 AD, and if Wei Chi Jingde married his daughter to Li Shimin, it would be almost the same, because Wei Chi Jingde was thirteen or fourteen years older than Li Shimin.
Let Wei Chi Jingde marry Li Shimin's daughter, it can be said that it is two generations worse - if Wei Chi Jingde really dares to marry, then he must not be bitten by Cheng Jin and laugh off his teeth?
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Qin Qiong's uncle Bao had already died after twelve years of retreat, and Cheng Yaojin was still active in the court and formed a family with Li Shimin: "Chu Liang (Cheng Biting Jin's second son), with the meritorious son Shang Taizong's daughter Princess Qinghe Chang, was awarded the title of Ma Du Wei and Zuo Wei Zhonglang General. ”
If Wei Chi Jingde married a daughter of Li Shimin, it would become Cheng Chuliang's brother-in-law, that is, he would become Cheng Zhiliang's "nephew", and with Cheng Chi Jingde's sharp mouth that could bring the dead to life, wei Chi Jingde would not be ashamed to find a seam to drill into?
In addition to being afraid of the shame of others, we can also infer the true meaning of Li Shimin and the reason for Wei Chi Jingde's refusal according to the historical data: Li Shimin's well-documented and crowned princess daughters are twenty-one, of which four did not live to the age of marriage, the remaining seventeen princesses were all named flowers and lords, and six of them remarried for different reasons (the early death or murder of the donkey).
As long as Li Shimin was only a normal father, he would not marry the daughter of the bride to the white-haired Wei Chi Old Master--the ancients said that fifty knew the mandate of heaven, and at the age of fifty-five, he was already considered a half-buried person.
Li Shimin could not have married his daughter to Wei Chi Jingde, so he could only find it from among the widowed daughters: "The twenty-first daughter of Emperor Taizong, princess of Xiangcheng, married Xiao Rui, Rui Zhao, and more married to Jiang Jian; Princess Nanping, married Wang Jingzhi, to rebuke Lingnan, and marry Liu Xuanyi even more; Princess Sui'an, who married Dou Kui, died, and married Wang Dali; Princess Jin'an, married Wei Si'an, and married Yang Renren; Princess Chengyang, married Du He, and sat on the prince to undertake the affairs, and married Xue Wan; Princess Xincheng, married the eldest son, and slandered the sins of Wei Weizhou. More married Wei Zhengyi. ”
Of the seventeen daughters who were married, six of them remarried, so Kefu, Wei Chi Jingde was old, and it was estimated that he was more spared his life, so he could only politely refuse Li Shimin's kindness.
The above speculations are not clearly corroborated by historical materials, and the reason why Wei Chi Jingde really did not dare to become a donkey is in the previous paragraph of the record of Li Shimin's marriage in the Zizhi Tongjian: "The upper taste is Jingde: 'People or words are opposed, why not?'" "The subject is the truth!" His Majesty has conquered the four directions, and has experienced hundreds of battles, and now the survivors are all sharp and dystop. The world has been decided, but it is even more suspicious of the subject! 'Because he undressed and thrown to the ground, he was devastated. Shang wei drooled, saying: "Qing Fu obeys, qing does not doubt Qing, so Yu Qing, what hate evil even more!" ’”
First of all, he publicly questioned Wei Chi Jingde whether he had the intention of plotting rebellion, and turned his face to recruit Wei Chi Jingde as a donkey, Li Shimin changed his face like a book, how could he not let Wei Chi Jingde's two forces want to go first -- if he didn't leave again, he would die!
Seeing this, the readers must have a new understanding of the reasons for Wei Chi Jingde's refusal to marry: If Li Shimin is really married to a daughter, then he can only give the remarried widow to Wei Chi Jingde, such a thing, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not do less, and later it seems that there was an emperor who married the grandmother to the courtiers, and that incident became the laughing stock of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu.
If Li Shimin is not really marrying a daughter but a temptation, then Wei Chi Jingde can't even agree: Will the guy cheng bite jin and roll around with a smile, I can pretend not to see, if your so-called marriage is actually planting eyeliner around me, in case my dream words are violated, then isn't it going to be in a different place?
